Expectations change with experience

Posted by admin on February 23rd, 2012

Most of my expectations for this internship were changed within the first two hours. I thought that in an office such as this, an intern would have a limited experience learning only from what was heard or seen during their stay. When I found out that there were daily “mini meetings” where we learned to become better job applicants, my initial expectations were abandoned and were replenished with fresh plans for the upcoming months. The first day has almost come to a close, and I have already been uniquely challenged. I plan on learning about unfamiliar computer software, as well as gaining an in depth understanding of the hiring process.
During this troubling time in the U.S. with the unemployment rate at such a standstill, it is encouraging to be in a position to learn extensively about the hiring process. I will be learning tools that would make myself a standout amongst other applicants. With this internship my interview skills will be properly tuned to fit the expectations of Millennium Personnel.

How to Ace a Interview

Posted by admin on February 9th, 2012

The most important thing about an interview is landing a job. As an intern I’m learning how to interview others, so my own skills can increase. I was just as nervous as the person sitting on the other side of the desk. I have never interviewed anyone, or thought about doing it. I’ve done a couple of interviews this week during my internship. Some people were nervous and some showed no fear at all. There are three things that most employers look for in a resume. The first is experience in the field your applying for. Most jobs require you to have at least two year or more. However if you have none, it would be beneficial for you to take and internship. The second thing the employer is looking for is your education. Some jobs may want you have a Masters Degree, while others will be willing to employ workers with just a high school GED. The last criterion is technical skills, which is very important to the job market. Technical skills involve having working knowledge of computer software. The basic requirement is having basic (or better) Microsoft Site skills with Outlook and QuickBooks being a plus.The best way to do good on a interview is to always stay clam and optimism, once you panic, the situation can go down hill from there. It’s best to speak loud and clear. And to sound like you have a lot of confident, dress business attire, neat and clean. Always come on time to an interview and never fold up your resume and give it to the employer. The whole reason why employers give interview so they can pick the right candidates. For example, a good candidate is someone who comes in on time and completes his or her tasks on time. This is the type of candidate that all employers look for.
